“Defensive boost: Slot teases potential return of key player for Leicester showdown this weekend”
“Injury boost: Defender set for potential return against Leicester this weekend, confirms Slot”
Liverpool sit just six points away from securing the Premier League title, and as a pivotal weekend looms, Arne Slot has provided an injury update.
Addressing the media about Trent Alexander-Arnold, Slot stated (via liverpoolfc.com): “He’s not ready to start, but if things go well today and tomorrow, there’s a chance he could make the bench.
“He’s been sidelined for five-and-a-half weeks, and today will likely be his first full session with the team. On Wednesday, he managed to take part in parts of the session, but starting isn’t an option yet. Hopefully, though, he can join us because Conor [Bradley] has also been out for a while, and playing a full 90 minutes won’t be easy for him either. It would be great to have Trent with us this weekend.”
Slot’s comments suggest confidence in Alexander-Arnold’s potential return, even in a limited capacity. With two strong right-backs vying for the position, competition will strengthen the squad once both are fully fit.
As Liverpool edge closer to glory, Alexander-Arnold’s return could be crucial for the title run-in.
One crucial factor shaping the narrative around Trent Alexander-Arnold’s return is his rumored links to Real Madrid.
With his coach remaining tight-lipped about any progress on a potential new contract for the lifelong Red, uncertainty continues to surround his future.
While some fans have already expressed frustration at speculation about his possible departure, no decisions have been finalized.
Though Alexander-Arnold’s return from injury is a boost for the squad, any looming transfer drama risks overshadowing the team’s on-field accomplishments.
